“Alright then ──── my German army…….”

When Nasser was about to summon the German troops to fulfil Alicia’s request, there was a lone flying dragon blocking the sky above him.

‘───Muuu? Is that the remnants of the Hero Bodyguard Blaze?’

“Okugata-samaaaaaaaaa!!!”

[TL:A nobleman’s wife奥方様]

Kyiiiiii A flying dragon swooped down and jumped into the German encirclement.

The soldiers astride it, in spite of their battered appearance, dashed at once towards Alicia.

“『Air raid!! Shoot!! Shoot!!!!』”

Large numbers of rifles were pointed skywards and firing at the flying dragon.

However, because of the Lv 2 summons, the majority of the Germans used the 7.92 mm Mauser K98, which had a little less overwhelming firepower of the Lv 6 Grenadiers.

But numbers were justice!

There were plenty of rifles and the anti-aircraft fire fired one after another hitting the flying dragons.

Gyiiiiiiii!!!

The flying dragon screamed and twisted around.

A rifle bullet lodged in it, and it probably wanted to get away from it.

But the rider wouldn’t let that happen and kept on charging.

“Aah! Here it comes……Koji, here comes the hero!!”

‘Help ain’t coming, bitch.’

Alicia’s eyes lit up, as if she was mistaken about something, but Nasser completely ignored her and said.

“───Knock him off!!!”

He ordered anti-aircraft fire.

Of course, without Nasser’s say-so, the Germans were counter-attacking.

Around him, there was a series of tremendous firing noises and they were shooting at the flying dragons.

Banbanbanbanbanban!!

Zudadadadadadadadadadadadada!!

Mixed in with the rifle fire, a squad support firearm, an MG34, opened fire.

The machine gunner deployed his bipod on the shoulder of his comrade-in-arms and pointed his gun into the air.

But it was tough to aim.

The limit came.

Although the scales prevented the dragon from taking a fatal blow in the middle of the air, its wings that were meant for flying were damaged and full of holes one after another────.

“Uooooo!! Get out of the way!”

The flying dragon crashed down on Nasser.

The flying dragon, having lost its buoyancy, descended like a stone.

Grabbing Alicia by the neck, who was at the point of its fall, Nasser quickly jumped back.

────Zudooooon!!!

The place where Nasser and Alicia had been a moment before.

What fell there was a huge flying dragon and its rider.

The flying dragon ruptured its internal organs from the impact of the fall and died instantly.

However, the rider seemed to have managed to survive.

The impact of the fall seemed to have been reduced because the flying dragon acted as a cushion.

However, even though he was still alive, he was only barely───………

“Y,you’re not Koji….”

Alicia looked on in despair at the scene.

Nasser threw Alice away and pulled a pistol on the rider.

“You’ve got a lot of guts to come charging in with just one…..rider.”

“Gofu…..”

Spitting blood, the rider looked up at Nasser and grinned.

The rider, still as innocent as a boy, said.

“───Don’t understimate the Hero Bodyguard Blaze. I rode with the …… flying dragon and the monster bird to the frontline troops in the north to send a message.”

‘What?’

“….frontline?　You mean the field division headquarters?───Oioi……how far away from here do you think it is?”

“Not exactly.. But I showed you. A feat only a flying dragon, monstrous bird and us could pull off…..!”

‘I thought they had escaped from the battle with the Germans during my battle with Koji, but instead they had gone to send a message to the field divisions?’

But surely it would not be impossible.

Mountains, rivers and snowfields were nothing for these guys.

Both flying dragons and monstrous birds should be used for such purposes.

“In accordance with the order of the Hero, both we and the Hero Koji have been given part of the command of the field divisions by the King in preparation for this kind of situation!”

‘……That idiot King. Did he really give the fucking hero command of the army?!’

“And I have come all this way to declare the final despair of heretics like you! Ukukuku!”

Wahahahahahaha ……──Gufu.

Saying this, the rider vomitted blood and died.

‘All the way to his death, exposing his hand to the enemy, he’s an idiot.’

“Wha! Koji, Koji is!……wake upoooh!!!!”

Alicia began to kick the dead rider and the flying dragon mercilessly.

“───Good for you, Alicia. It looks like help is on the way, in case you were wondering.”

Nasser didn’t know how many days it would take, though.

The front line with the Demon King’s army was far away.

The road trip would take a week by the regular route using the roadways closer to the Empire,

Even a fast horse would take a whole day.

And an army could not act like a fast horse.

Moving large numbers of personnel required large numbers of supplies, and supplies could only be moved at the speed of a cart.

In other words, the speed of an army was the speed of a cart.

There was a way to separate only the infantry and force the march where they only carried the rations, but……

Only exhausted soldiers would be left at the destination, and that was no way to fight a war.

However, there was another route to the front line who was fighting the demon king’s army.

It was called the mountain range crossing route. It was a route that had been developed in recent years in case the relations with the Empire became strained.

Originally, the route was pioneered by adventurers, but the kingdom had developed it in earnest.

Today, it could be used for small and medium-sized peddlers.

However, because of the difficulties involved in maintaining and managing the road, it had not yet been used by a large army.

However, this was the route along which Liz might have been taken.

The route cut through a demon-infested mountain range, which could be traversed in half a day by fast horses.

A company-sized army could complete the route in a whole day.

“Y,yeaa!! A field division is coming to destroy the heretic! Oh, who are you?”

“『Commander…』”

Completely ignoring the foul-mouthed Alicia, the black-robed soldier approached Nasser and handed him the radio on his back.

The tanks, engineers and aircraft that Nasser had called in to liven things up.

One of these aircraft seemed to have propelled itself quite far forward to warn from the direction which the Hero Bodyguard Blaze flew from earlier.

The report was said to be the result of that reconnaissance.

“───what is it?”

“『Za…this is forward reconnaissance aircraft. We have spotted enemy cavalry advancing in the mountains. The size is one cavalry regiment──』”

‘What!’

“『Speed is 10 km/h through mountainous terrain…. quite a handful.』”

Nasser was told that a cavalry regiment, supposedly deployed from a field division, was on the run about a few dozen kilometres from here.

“Oioi……they’re reckless. They’re riding cavalry through mountainous terrain───”

‘No, it’s not impossible, as long as the roads are well maintained……’

It was a rapid march with no thought for later maintenance and repair of the road.

Naturally, the roads would be torn up, and even many of the troops on the rapid march would fall off along the way.

Nasser couldn’t help but wonder what they were thinking…

“So, upon receiving the news of the fall of the Royal Capital, a mobile force was urgently sent in.”

Nasser didn’t know what the Blaze reported, but the field division headquarters sent in a mobile force with a determination to do damage.

Moreover, they used the narrow roads in the mountainous region.

Well, if the royal capital was overrun by an unidentified army and the king and heroes were missing, clearly it was no longer the war against the demon king’s army that was in their mind.

So they had no hesitation in coming by the shortest route, no matter the damage, no matter how broken the roads were.

“Distance?”

“『Za────…… is about 50 km. It is still passing through mountainous terrain.』”

“Hou? They’re quite skilled ────……is it the field division’s main force, the 1st Cavalry Regiment?

Nasser wouldn’t be surprised if they could run through the mountainous terrain.

The rest of the road would be torn up by the passage of heavy cavalry, though.

“That’s the perfect distance.”

Nasser’s mouth twisted into a grin.

He turned to Alicia and said.

“I heard that Alicia likes big things?”

“Guu!　Yes, I do! Koji is huge! They’re nothing like yours!”

‘Such a bitch……If you want it that big, I’ll give you what you want.’
